Chapter 179: The First Day of Appointment
"Yes, it is indeed a mission, earlier we received a report that there are some homeless people near Dinghuai Gate, he went to arrest the homeless, I think it won't be long before he can come back." The head catcher said with a smirk.
"Outcasts? At the feet of this dignified son of heaven, will there be homeless people? Could it be that Lord Yin doesn't know what to do? If it is a homeless person, what can the five of them do? Hu Ye was taken aback, if it was really a homeless person, the five officials would want to arrest the homeless, and if they were lucky not to be trampled into a pulp, they still wanted to arrest and bring them to justice?
But if it is really a homeless person, this Ying Tianfu Yin is too administrative, at the feet of the dignified son of heaven, there is a matter of homeless people, and this Mansion Yin must not be taken by Zhu Yuanzhang. But this can't be said, there are many military camps in Nanjing City, even if you want to deal with the homeless, it is not your turn to arrest four or five people under one of the wardens, is it not possible to do those military camps as decorations?
"Oh ha, the new official of the warden has taken office, let's toast the lord first, and wish the lord a prosperous appointment." Seeing that Hu Ye had some suspicions, the head catcher flashed a trace of strangeness in his eyes, but quickly covered it up.
After that, he glanced at the four or five officials under him, and those officials also coaxed when they saw this, pulled Hu Ye and Lao Qian down to the edge of a wine table, and kept persuading Hu Ye to drink.
"Well, that, the official is young, but he doesn't drink enough, so he won't drink this wine, so replace the bar with tea. This official is newly appointed, if there is anything you don't understand, please remind me a lot. Hu Ye knew that there must be something greasy in this, but now he is like a blind man crossing the river, he has to come step by step, and he can't get caught in these few humanitarians.
I didn't expect this little warden to really think like what Yin Changlong said, the water is very deep.
When those officials saw that Hu Ye didn't drink, they originally wanted to persuade him to drink, but when they saw that Hu Ye was only twelve or thirteen years old, what big waves could they make? I won't say more. I drank it myself, and it seemed that this warden was not very good, and he still had to be like the warden who came before, and he was played by himself and others.
After a few understandings, this catcher is called Lu Shun, and his subordinates are in charge of ten officials.
In other words, Hu Ye, a warden, has more than a dozen servants under him who can be deployed, and he is also in charge of a small prison, which is not big, and can only hold about 20 prisoners.
Hu Ye really wanted to see what the prisoners in ancient times looked like. But then Lu Shun excused himself that the prison was too dirty, so he asked Hu Ye not to go, and this kind of thing was left to them to do it.
At this time, Hu Ye felt that he had no real power as a warden at all, and the power here seemed to be in the hands of this head catcher.
"Old Qian, accompany me out of the city to go shopping and see the scenery of this Yingtianfu Ya." Hu Ye put down the teacup and wanted to take the old money out of the house to go shopping.
"Yes, my lord." Lao Qian is now Hu Ye's personal bodyguard, and he can't be called Young Master Hu Ye. In Yingtianfu, you have to call an adult, although Hu Ye is not big.
"Lord Warden, why don't I take two officials with me, so as not to get any forks." Lu Shun said and glanced at the two officials. Two officials came to Hu Ye, ready to protect Hu Ye at any time.
Hu Ye smiled at Lu Shun, and did not refuse the protection of these two officials, although he knew that these two officials were not protecting themselves at all. Instead, they were sent to monitor themselves, but they haven't figured out the situation yet, so don't act rashly.
Old Qian looked at the two officials viciously. are all the kind of characters who are full of brains, and they still want to protect their young master? I'm afraid that Lao Qian will deal with these two officials one by one, without making a sound.
Hu Ye glanced at Lao Qian, and then took the lead in walking out of the small yamen of the warden, ready to go shopping.
"My lord, I think this warden is also a little doll, it is estimated that which family wants to train its own disciple and spend money to buy an official to do it, we can directly ignore him." After Hu Ye left with the old money, in the small yamen, a servant said to Lu Shun.
"People are small and big, so they have to be guarded against, especially the bodyguard behind him, at first glance, he is a person in the army, and it is estimated that I am not an opponent when I move. But don't worry too much, as the saying goes, a strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, even if this kid has some background, what can he do with us? When this kid's passion passes, he will naturally leave this small yamen obediently, and outsiders are not allowed to touch the oil and water here. Lu Shun said sinisterly, with a hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth.
Hu Ye naturally didn't know that he had been despised by others, and he was now wandering around the huge Yingtian Mansion with Lao Qian and two servants.
Yingtianfu Ya is about the same size as the Gongyuan, but the atmosphere is not half a star. One is a place for exams, and the other is a place to deal with criminal and civil cases, so walking in the Yingtianfu Yali, there is a particularly depressing feeling.
"Oops, I have a stomachache and I have to go to the hut." Hu Ye suddenly touched his stomach as he walked, and half-squatted down.
"My lord, you don't have anything to do, do you want to find you a Langzhong." An accompanying official asked nervously.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's estimated that I ate something bad in the morning, and it's okay to go and pull it." Hu Ye said with a frown.
Then he squatted step by step to find the thatched house, and his eyes were still looking around.
About a stick of incense has passed, Hu Ye has not come back, Lao Qian suddenly had a stomachache, frowned, and covered his stomach to find a thatched house.
The two officials looked at each other, what is the situation, one master and one servant have stomach troubles, what did the family eat in the morning?
But they didn't pay much attention to it, so they waited where they were.
"Young master, I see that the water in this little yamen is very deep, that Lu Shun is not a good thing, and he actually lined up two officials to monitor us." When Lao Qian came to the edge of a thatched house, his stomach stopped hurting in an instant, and his eyes were full of essence.
"Yes, yes, worthy of being my bodyguard, I still have a bit of vision." Hu Ye nodded with satisfaction, this old money followed him, and it seemed that his IQ had become much higher.
It turned out that the two of them didn't have a stomachache at all, but they were just trying to find a reason to get rid of the surveillance of the two officials behind them.
"Young master, what are your plans, do you want to mess around, or do you want to do something." Lao Qian paid attention to the direction he came, for fear that the two officials would find him.
"it off? You also look down on your young master too much, although we are young, but eating and drinking is not my job. Ordinary cats are tired or something, and I don't bother to bother with them, but if it's something hurtful. I have to take care of it, otherwise let the emperor know that the official he admired is so inactive, wouldn't it be to scold him for having no vision? Hu Ye glanced at Lao Qian with disdain, he had grown up just now, and this began to make mistakes.
"Yes, I don't know what the young master plans to do now, whether to continue to take them around, or to find a place to wander around?" Old Qian asked in a low voice.
"Hmph, didn't you just let me go to the prison, let's go and see. Let's see who is locked up inside, whether it is a heinous villain, or a master of martial arts. Hu Ye's eyes flashed, and he knew that Lu Shun didn't let him go to the prison, and there must be something greasy inside. This kind of thing is not only something that a big official like Zhou Jie can do, but a small head hunter like Lu Shun is also very capable.
So the two of them quietly walked along the path in front of the thatched house, and let the two officials outside continue to wait.
The small cell managed by the warden was not far away, and Hu Ye found it without looking for long with the old money.
It's not a big cell. It was built at the foot of a hill and was built next to the mountain, which saved a lot of materials.
There are not many guards and there are only three of them. They saw someone coming. Naturally, it is to stand up and intercept.
"Stop, who are you, don't you know that this is a forbidden place, and idle people are not allowed to enter." A cell boss touched the saber at his waist. said loudly to Hu Ye. Because he saw that old money was not simple, and if these two people came to rob the prison, the three of them would not be opponents at all.
"I'm not an idler." Hu Ye smiled. He handed his seal to the cell boss and looked at it.
"Little man Ma Fei, I've seen the warden." The cell boss hurriedly knelt down and saluted Hu Ye, and the two jailers behind him also hurriedly followed suit.
They didn't expect the warden to come to this prison, the previous warden was honestly staying in the yamen, where could he come to such a place, so they were very surprised.
"Get up, I'm just here to hang out, nothing else." Hu Ye said and walked into the prison with Lao Qian, wanting to see the situation in the ancient prison.
If you want to talk about the prison of the Ming Dynasty, the most notorious is of course the Imperial Prison, the exclusive cell of Jinyiwei, and there are not a few ministers who have been damaged in history in it.
However, Hu Ye does not have the right to go to the imperial prison now, so he can only come to the small cell of this pawn first, since he has become a pawn, he has to practice it.
When Ma Fei saw Hu Ye with the old money, he walked to the prison, and quickly got up to keep up, for fear that something would go wrong.
The prison here is similar to what is shown on TV, but it seems to be worse here. Because it was built next to a mountain, it was relatively humid inside, and as soon as Hu Ye walked in, he smelled a musty smell, presumably because the hay in the cell was already moldy.
There were eight cells, and in each cell there were two people, the oldest in his forties, and the youngest sixteen or seventeen.
"My lord, the people who are locked up here are all criminals, some are felons, and some are abducted. When the official document from the Criminal Department comes down, the two felons will be assigned to the border. Ma Fei pointed to Hu Ye to two strong men locked up in a cell, with iron locks on their hands and feet, and they were fixed to the wall.
When the two strong men saw that it turned out to be a little doll, they immediately spat at Hu Ye, and cursed, "Dog officer." ”
"You ......" his own young master was scolded as a dog official, how could Lao Qian bear it, flashed the horizontal knife on his waist, and glanced at the two strong men viciously.
"These two are minor criminals, and they could have left by paying some bail, but they have no family members, and they can't pay bail, so they have been locked up here." Ma Fei pointed to Hu Ye and said.
Hu Ye looked at it by the way, the two of them were nothing special, they were both unkempt, and they couldn't see what they looked like.
Originally, Hu Ye didn't care too much, but when Hu Ye passed by, a person inside suddenly brightened up, rushed to the door, grabbed Hu Ye's clothes, and begged loudly, "Childe, help me." (To be continued......)
